Battery Life and Portability WOW!!

Been using it for about a week now and am very impressed. The battery life is perfect for 2+ acres of trimming and light brush clearing. Used it 2+ hours and still have plenty of battery life, not that it matters because charging is pretty quick. It’s much easier to use than corded versions and has just as much, if not more, power. The portability means I can take it anywhere - i throw it in the back of my lawn trailer and off I go. It also reaches about 10-12’ high, so it’s great for those tall hedges. Absolutely no complaints. I gave it 5 stars for durability, but have really only used it twice.
Loved it while it lasted. Snapped in two the third year I owned it. The part that broke is not repairable and not in stock. Apparently, the way these break is very common.
After using the standard hedge trimmer for a year I purchased the pole trimmer to get to the top of my hedge...it works great an uses the same 24v battery. It has plenty of power and battery life, and it seems well made. I don't mind the dual trigger system. The extension clamps work ok, but loosen too easily.
My daughter bought this hedge trimmer, loaned it to me for my hedge. I am a 75 year old grandmother and I found it simple and easy to use. It turned my all day trimming job into a half hour task. Love it.
I came across this trimmer while looking for something that was economical, easy to use, and that could work for many different types of trimming. The area I was planning to trim has some neglected boxwoods, overgrown flowerbeds (virtually abandoned), and even a large row of 10+ foot bushes that have been overgrown with briars and vines.
This trimmer allowed me to cut all of them without any trouble at all! It is also good for maintenance now that the areas are in better shape.
The length is great, having the added pole extension is even better! Balancing the trimmer and getting used to the trigger points (there are two that must be held to operate the trimmer) can be a little tricky at first, but you get the hang of it in no time.
Battery life was sufficient. You will probably get fatigued before the battery runs out, so perfect time to take a break from the heat, charge, and repeat!
Power is good. I was able to cut through some 2" diameter areas with minimal effort (do recommend tackling the thicker items on fresh battery charge).
Overall great trimmer and I would purchase again and recommend to any friends!
